Railroad switch

The most common type of switch consists of a pair of linked tapering rails, known as points (switch rails or point blades), lying between the diverging outer rails (the stock rails).

Types of Rail Switches and Their Functions

Simple turnouts consist of a single switch, while compound turnouts feature multiple switches, enabling trains to access multiple tracks simultaneously. Turnout switches are crucial for routing trains onto

Switch Types & their Working Principle

Depending on the number of poles (lines linked) and throws (ways to connect), these switches are available in single pole 12-way, 2-pole 6-way, 3-pole 4-way, & 4-pole 3-way configurations.
